# Poly Dating vs Benefit Social

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Benefit Social at 100% against Poly Dating's 28%. Benefit Social also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.3) and ads (none vs shown). Poly Dating's advantage is ratings volume (293 vs 7). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Poly Dating sells 19 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Benefit Social sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
